Personal  Background  In  nursing  school  I  had  a  strong  passion  for  psychiatric  nursing  because  of  its  prevalence  in  our  veteran  population.  Since  having  my  RN  I  started  as  an  on-­‐call  employee  in  August  of  2014.  Six  months  after  being  at  Navos  management  asked  me  if  I  would  consider  a  full-­‐time  position.  Management  approached  me  again  shortly  after  accepting  their  offer  for  a  permanent  position  inquiring  about  my  stance  on  orientating  to  charge  nurse  for  the  floor.  I  also  accepted  this  offer  and  for  the  past  three  months  have  been  the  fill-­‐in  charge  for  the  majority  of  the  shifts  I  work.  I  am  thankful  for  this  opportunity  and  would  love  to  utilize  the  knowledge  gained  by  giving  back  to  individuals  who  are  in  need  of  the  most  support  and  compassion.    In  the  military  I  served  as  an  infantry  Marine.  I  was  awarded  a  good  conduct  medal,  which  illustrates  an  individual’s  outstanding  and  honorable  service  while  continuing  to  lead  by  example  for  three  consecutive  years;  I  also  maintained  a  team  leader  position  at  this  time.  While  serving  I  was  deployed  to  Iraq  twice;  the  first  time  was  in  2006  and  the  second  time  in  2007.  During  this  time  my  fellow  Marines  and  I  were  able  to  preform  necessary  life  saving  interventions  when  necessary.  We  were  also  awarded  a  Joint  Service  Medal  for  our  support  in  aiding  the  Iraq  Army.  The  last  year  of  my  duty  consisted  of  trained  enlisted  and  officer  Marines  on  the  necessary  tactics  needed  to  be  successful  while  on  their  deployments.
